some helpful tips for this recipe:

• if the dough is too sticky, you may add more flour a tablespoon at a time ( but too much flour can ruin the smoothness of the dough) so please be very careful 
• please make sure the butter is at room temperature
• you can add design to your dough to make it look pretty :)
• please make sure the milk is at the right temperature, you do not want to kill your yeast, it will cause of not rising the dough
